PERMACLUTURE NEW ZEALAND HUI 2007

Easter Weekend 2007 April 6th – 8th

Matakana Village (1 hr north of Auckland )

With guest David Holmgren

Please forward this email widely to fellow permaculture people.

You are invited to join us in conversation and celebration about the  
role of permaculture in creating sustainable futures. Permaculture  
design has much to offer society at this time; are we willing to  
deliver? If yes, how can we support one another in action for  
desirable futures; for example: What useful strategies can we employ  
individually and collectively? How can we be mainstream? What models  
of permaculture practices are already out there? How can we make the  
principles of permaculture alive for all people?
